	Judging by the 'make' output that you sent me in private mail,
this was the root of the problem. The fix is to apply the patch given
below (I'm about to commit this to the CVS tree).
	Or, if you want to do things by hand, edit "config.h.in", and
change
	#define _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED
to
	#define _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED	1

If this works, you'll be able to move on to bigger and better problems.

	The best piece of advice I've been given about AIX is that you
should rid yourself of the notion that it's Unix. Just accept that
it's an extraterrestrial OS that just happens to support POSIX.

     Circular logic is self-validating. Therefore, it is correct.
